When I spotted these two ladies walking down the street in Fort Greene, I thought of the vintage New York City street photos taken by Jamel Shabazz during the late 70s to the early 80s (see examples below). As a nod to Shabazz’s aesthetic, I decided to edit these pictures to have an old school feel.
Her acid wash jeans give the old school vibe while her Beats headphones and sneakers are unmistakably current.
I love how Jamel Shabazz captured such an important time in urban culture. Hip Hop was a budding musical genre and black street style was the epitome of cool.
Clearly this time in urban history can’t be duplicated. But at least we have the photos to reflect on.
To all my 2014 Around the Way Girls…
This article rocks! Well documented.
Thanks Ms. Rexti!
